We're Watching: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
Posted by Hayley French on
Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow star in 1997's Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. This isn't your average ditzy blonde movie. Outrageous fashion and impenetrable friendship are the focus on this flick about two 28-year-old best friends creating terrible lies to try to impress old classmates whom they haven't seen since the twelfth grade. They're not quite able to convince everyone that they are the inventors of Post-it notes and a little bit of damage control is necessary. The lead up to the impending reunion is equally funny as the girls attempt to lose weight, find boyfriends, and snag better jobs before the big night. This kind of movie from the 90's is fun to watch because, realistically, Facebook and other social media don't grant us the mystery of not knowing what our old classmates are doing with their lives. We practically know everything about everyone we went to school with. So, let's live vicariously through Romy and Michele as they compare lives and, the more importantly, lifestyles with a very eclectic bunch.
Michele Weinberger gets emotional when she watches Pretty Woman; believes in a balanced diet of jelly beans, gummy bears, and candy corn; and is obsessed with being cutting edge. We appreciate her and her quirky sense of style. Maybe she should wear these items to her next reunion...
